I just bought an X-Pro1 a couple weeks ago. My wife and I do wedding and family photography so this will be my backup and/or personal camera. We use X-T2s for our professional work and shoot in RAW for more control when editing. I’ll be shooting the X-Pro1 in JPEG though.
Thanks for the videos! They are much appreciated. And I enjoy your photography style. Keep up the good work.
Extremely helpful Jorge. Appreciated.
This was a great video! I just recently purchased a XPro1 and loved it so much i also got a xpro2 so these setting were applied to both thanks! Fuji is totally different for me i had been shooting nikon for the past couple years. It’s been so exciting figuring out the tech. Thanks a bunch.
My pleasure! Glad to hear this was a bit helpful or useful to someone out there! How's the X-Pro2 treating you? curious to hear your thoughts...
Thanks a lot for joining the small community, for watching and taking the time to leave a comment as well! Cheers! 😁🙌🏼
Another excellent video , thank you 🙏
I chimp not because of a lack of confidence. I just can’t wait to see how awesome my photos are!
This made me laugh haha, I'm sure a lot of people feel the same. 😂
Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your experiences, I appreciate it! ✨😁
Great and helpful video Jorge!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you very much for taking the time to watch and share a comment as well! Cheers! 🙌🏼✨
Super helpful thank you
This video came in clutch! Perfect timing since I literally got mine yesterday 😁
Glad I could help haha, that feeling of just getting a "new" camera can't be beat.
I would be interested to hear your thoughts on the camera after you've used it for a while.. Hope the vids were helpful or entertaining! Thank you for watching and taking the time to share a comment as well, I appreciate it! 🙏🏼😁
@@Jorge-Perez I’ll be honest with you, I currently have the 100V but wanted to get the xpro1 to scratch my “analog” itch. Your videos have been excellent and just what I was looking for. Thanks again and cheers!
Mine just got here today! 🥳 I’m taking it out camping and can’t wait to watch this video when I get back.
Just got Xpro1 last Sunday too :D
Great videos, love them
Glad to hear it! I hope it was useful or help you in any way! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to share a kind comment as well! I appreciate it! 🙏🏼😁
Thx so much for your reviews and recommendation on the Fuji xpro1! Mine just showed up and love everything about it…. Thx again!
Glad I could help! Happy to hear more people out there are giving the camera a chance! Would love to hear your thoughts about the camera after you've used it for a while!
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to share a comment as well! Cheers 😁🙏🏼
@@Jorge-Perez will keep you posted, picked up the 35mm 1.4. Looks like a perfect match for the xpro1 body. Taking on vacation next week and cannot wait to see the results…
This camera actually changed my life. I feel like an artist or something, and it's literally thousands of hours of free entertainment.
1. When it says low battery, it's literally seconds away from BRICK
2. For landscape photos, set iso to 800 and DR to 400%. in that order (critical). Magic will happen. Thank me later.
It's great to hear people are still using it and giving it a chance! And that's the main thing I tried to convey in my full review, the feeling of using the camera. How's the X-pro1 treating you? is landscape photography your main type of photography? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on using the X-pro1
I hope the video was useful or at least entertaining! Thank you very much for watching and for taking the time to share a comment as well! I really appreciate it! 🙏🏼😁
@@Jorge-Perez hi! Mostly I am photographing people and flowers. I have a sorta broken x100t that is better for landscapes because it has a wider lens. I'm waiting on receiving the pergear 25mm so I can use the x pro 1 for landscape too. I prefer fully manual photography because I can be more creative and less documentary this way. The camera feels very unique and clunky. The shutter sound is very nice too!
Thank you so much for this video. I am buying a X-Pro1 now in 2023 😅. For pure joy of personal photography/streetphotography. As I never had a X-Pro body. Other work is done with X-T4 and X-H2S and x100v. But the xpro1 will be a jpeg only camera with your settings
excellent - ty
You're welcome! I hope it was useful or entertaining, thanks for watching and for taking the time to share a kind comment as well! I appreciate it 🙏🏼😁
Great video! Is It possible change the names of custom settings on the camera? For exampre, Kodachrome ecc... Because I dind't find a method
I've watched this 3 or 4 times now, and tried out your settings. The back button focusing works, but not always. The shoot only JPEGs mode with film simulation works well in good lighting, but I have to resort to raw in high contrast situations which we get a lot here where I live (Norway at 62 deg N)
But you've given me a renewed interest in my X-Pro1 .
Thanks.
Thanks for your comment! Here are a couple of things that I'd like to add:
1. The Fujicrons are probably the best option for people that want to use autofocusing or back-button focusing, in my experience it works 85-90% of the time.
2. I do shoot jpeg only, and rarely edit any of my images, (you can reference my full X-E1 & X-Pro1 review for samples) This is achieved by paying extra attention to the exposure. I expose for the highlights, always, or at the very least for an "in-between" in the exposure bracket. You can always bring the shadows up if you want, but you can never recover the blown highlight.
I especially like to shoot in high contrast because that makes it very very easy to get black shadows, but that is just a personal preference, that's how I like my images.
But the most important thing is that we are having this conversation, that you are using the camera, and that we love the craft. Thank you very much for watching and for taking the time to share your experiences as well! I really appreciate it 🙏🏼😁
@@Jorge-Perez Thx for your feedback. Much appreciated! I wish you a good weekend.
Regarding white balance.
Can you explain where do I change that in the q menu or camera menu.
So how would I change it on the fly
Can you elaborate on your choices regarding the sharpness, color and shadow/highlight settings?
For example: I’ve understood that the lack of an antialiasing filter helps with sharpness overall, but do you feel that the in-camera jpg engine is too aggressive with its sharpening algorithms?
Sure thing, as cameras progress and sensors get better and more sensitive, the highlight and shadows thresholds improve, but the sharpness and noise reduction does not seem to improve at the same rate.
You can try to "fix" your highlights and shadows, massage the files and work with your curves, but there's not much you can do if you have an over-sharpened image, or if the noise reduction is so aggressive that it mushes the image.
My philosophy is to get everything in camera, the right aspect ratio, simulations etc. Not because I'm against editing, but because I like to shoot with intentionally, however, I rather apply the correct amount of sharpening and noise reduction later, rather than let the algorithm inside the camera try and mess up the file.
By setting the Highlight +1, Shadow +1, what this is doing, is creating an S curve directly in the camera. The X100V has a good visual representation of the S-curve/Tone Curve menu, I recommend you watch my "Fujifilm X100V Settings" video, specifically at 04:53.
Long story short, I try to get as much as possible in camera, and then later just add the correct amount of sharpness, noise reduction (If needed) and just small corrections like centering images, or small angle tweaks, etc.
Hope that helps! thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment as well! Cheers! ✨🙌🏼
I've been researching a potential used X-Pro 1 camera purchase for the past 2 weeks to upgrade my Black and White Photography craft. Your introduction to the X-Pro 1 video and this setup video are excellent! I'm living in Japan and can't wait to "graduate" from my M43 gear to the Fujifilm X-Pro 1 with a Fujinon 50mm f2 R WR used lens! Many thanks Jorge🙏🙏📷‼️ What memory card would you recommend for my new (used) X-Pro 1?
That's great! The X-Pro1 is one of the best cameras for that price and quality! And I'm actually considering making it a dedicated black and white camera. Working on a video about it!
I use the Sandisk SD cards, good enough for this and somewhat affordable as well! type "SanDisk 64GB Extreme PRO" on amazon JP and you'll see it, it's ¥2,000
Hope that helps! And good luck with the new camera! Would love to hear your thoughts after you have used it for a while! Cheers! 🙌🏼✨
@@Jorge-Perez Ohayo Gozaimus Jorge🙋♂️ Many thanks for your kind comment and feedback...the 64gb card is in my basket! With CoVid19 growing again in Tokyo, I'm doing my used-camera shopping on Amazon Japan. I have found 2 X-Pro 1 cameras I'm interested in...1 is ¥54,800 and listed as "Very Good", 1 is ¥39,800 and listed as "Good" but there appears to be some bubbles on the surface of the LCD screen. The supplier confirmed this but says once powered on they aren't noticeable. Which unit do you think I should get?
おはようございます、The beauty of these shops is that you can go there yourself and try it out, test them and check them out in person.
If the difference is ONLY cosmetic, and does not bother you, then go for the cheaper camera and put that money on good lenses, (50mm F2 for speed, 56mm F1.2 for quality).
However, the better overall quality of the camera, the higher you can sell it back later, so keep that in mind. Hope that helps, and good luck with the camera hunting, let me know later what did you ended up going for!
Thanks for your comment! 🙌🏼✨
Hi Jorge. I began digital photography with a x-pro 2. I was late on the x-pro 1 but now, the 1 is getting more used than the 2. Dunno why, i like the clunkyness, and the lesser image quality. Seems strange but ... My x-pro 1 is now my JPEG only B&W photgraphy tool. I dont do street photography so much. Thank for your advices. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for you kind response! I think the X-Pro 1 is fairly popular nowadays because it has the 1st X-trans sensor, and the price as well. The Price/Quality ration is very appealing.
How's the X-pro1 treating you? and what is the main noticeable difference between the your x-pro2 and x-pro1?
Thanks a lot for watching and sharing your thoughts as well! Cheers 🙌🏼😁
I just got a beautiful black one. I love it
I just replied to the previous comment, I didn't realize you already did pick up the camera 😂 Congrats! 🎉✨
How does it feel? and what camera are you coming from? excited to hear your thoughts after you've used it! and congrats, Frank! 🙌🏼😁
@@Jorge-Perez im the guy with 4 x100's. I only got this cause my co worker gave me his canon 50 1.4 lens.
Finally an X trans i can love. Wow. I think this is the camera i was really meant to have. Im glad he gave me that lens i cant believe how much i love the pics. Maybe even better than my x100 bayer. Too soon to tell but its very close
Love it haha, keep me posted after you've used it for a while and have formed an opinion!
@@Jorge-Perez ok... formed opinion, this is the camera i was supposed to get if i could only have one. I have already gotten 2 extra batteries and the 35 1.2 7artisans lens and orderd the 35 f2 fuji lastnight. Im sick help me 😁 ... get more gear that is !!
Hi, can I set an Auto ISO/ minimum shutter speed range like on newer Fuji cameras? Thanks :)
Yes, you can! the min shutter speed with auto ISO is 1/4 sec, min ISO 200 & max ISO 6400. For other more specific options or settings, you have to set them manually in the camera.
Hope this helps! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to share a comment as well! I appreciate it 😁✨
Just got an X-E1 and the XC 35mm F2 used.
Is it possible to rename the Custom profiles like on newer Fuji cameras?
Congrats! How's the camera treating you? Curious to hear your thoughts.
Unfortunately, I don't think you can rename the presets, at least not in-camera. I just booted the X-E1 & X-Pro1 and I can't seem to be able to do it.
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to share a comment as well! Cheers 🙌🏼
I shoot fine plus raw with this camera. And I almost exclusively use vintage manual focus lenses with this system too.
That's good to hear! Are using peaking for manual focusing? Interested to hear your thoughts about it, thanks for watching and for taking the time to share a comment as well! I hope the video was useful or entertaining, cheers 😁🙏🏼
@@Jorge-Perez I use focus peaking, but they do not work that well on the XTrans 1 sensor. My main method is punching into the image and focusing my shot. In some situations, you can’t see the focus peaking highlights. I have an XE1 and XPRO1. I solely use vintage and manual focus lenses with that setup. I love the look that comes from that combination.
When I put the wheel of shutter speed on T and A on lens ring, usually I should be able to control shutter speed and aperture by front dial wheel, same as chi, xe4, ex4, Gfx but on xpro1 and xe1 it’s not working! Please advise.
Interesting to hear... the X-pro1 does not have a front wheel dial, only a back wheel dial right next to the AF-L button, the shutter will be controlled by the left and right d-pad when in T mode. So it's still functional, but maybe not as convenient as you're used to.
Hope that helps, thanks for watching and for taking the time to share a comment as well! I appreciate it 🙌🏼✨
@@Jorge-Perez yes sorry back wheel dial! In other Fuji cameras when I put on T I can change all from lower to higher numbers of shutter speed but in xpro1 some limited numbers are showing in screen and as you said I should select by left and right d-pad. Is there any option that I can select what I want beyond this limited numbers?
Hi, Do you have a video about how to use the back focus?
I see that you found it! let me know if you're looking for any other sort of videos, thanks! 🙌🏼
I've notice that many X-pro1 sales without soft eyecup. Still regret that sold mine, after time I found myself loving x-trans 1 sensor colours more than newest models
Yes, I got mine without the eyecup, and getting the correction lenses was a bit of a pain. But I agree, the X-trans sensor is something special, I love the image quality and the look of the photographs as well.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment as well, I appreciate i! 🙏🏼✨
Great video. I suggest you set your color space to Adobe RGB, it’s a wider color gamut than SRGB.
Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a try and see how it looks! Thanks for watching and taking the time to share a suggestion as well! Cheers 😁🙏🏼
Jorge, great tips👍 personal question: I heard xpro1 is not convenient for people wearing glasses. I believe you are in this situation as well. Do this is not a show stopper for you at all? What is your workaround and is the accessory widely available and working well? Thanks. Simon
That is correct, in fact, none of the fuji cameras feel good while wearing glasses in my opinion, that is especially why the diopter matters, it's very important in all of these camera.
I only wear glasses when coding or reading etc, Which means that I can leave my home with just the camera and not have any issues, but since the viewfinder's is not made out of plastic, or rubber, or anything like that, I can see this camera in particular being a real pain while wearing glasses.
The little correction lenses that I showed in my X-Pro1 review have a rubber edge/border, that can help to make sure you don't scratch your glasses, but If you don't have a need for those, then the viewfinder is just bare metal.
Hope that helps, thank you for watching and commenting as well! Cheers ✨🙌🏼
@@Jorge-Perez thanks man. Enjoy your videos.
I have a Nikon +1 screw on diopter on mine. It’s a perfect fit and means I can shoot without glasses on.
I have an X-Pro 1 and I cannot figure out how to get the histogram to show as I look through the electronic view finder. Can you help me with the set up?
I figured it out. I had to press the Disp Back button for it to show.
How do you use the optical viewfinder lots of lines there not sure how to frame
When you use Fujinon lenses like the 23mm f2 for example, the camera auto detects the lens, when you use manual vintage lenses, you have to set the focal length in the menu, and the grid and guidelines of the camera will adjust the the focal length that you are using.
Hope that helps, thanks for watching and good luck! 🙏🏼✨
Hi, thanks for the vid. have a question about the custom setting profile. I find some kodak chrome recipes in Fujixweeky and I try to add in my custom profile but on the WB section, they need to adjust the auto WB . but in custom setting..under auto WB...it cannot adjust the WB shift? Do I have to adjust it in the WB setting on shooting menu? please advise. Cheers,
Hi there, I just tried the same thing. You can edit the WB Shift from the shooting menu of the camera for example (Red: 0, Blue: -1), but you cannot edit the WB shift from the custom menu.
Whatever WB Shift you apply in the shooting menu, will affect all the custom profiles, so keep that in mind. I'm running the latest firmware so it's not a matter of running an old version. It's just an older camera.
Hope that helps, thanks for watching and leaving a comment as well! I appreciate it! 🙌🏼✨
@@Jorge-Perez I'm thinking about another method.. maybe will try tmr. How about setting everything like you want to set in the custom settings then go to the custom and choose save current settings...what do you think? 😅
@@Jorge-Perez thanks, you answered my question too. I had came to the conclusion you couldn’t choose the colors on WB from the customs menu.
No tienes videos en español? Gracias
English only, thanks for watching. Cheers 🙏🏼
